#2: The examination results set forth in the laboratory report are supported by the bench notes, but the
documentation is marginally adequate. The notes are not dated or initialed and are in pencil.
The conclusion that the green fibers recovered from the vehicle microscopically match the fibers from the
victim’s jacket is not documented in the notes.
The technician apparently performed solubility testing on the Q2 and K 2 fibers.
